3 - H FAMlLlAR scenes on college campuses as well as in public arenas are protestors joining in peace marches during the national moratorium demonstrations October 15. 24 o Special Activities New era promises to calm discord of explosive 60's The torch has been passed to a new generation. Cfrom John F. Kennedy's Inaugural addressj Dominated by forces of change and turbulence, the historic, in- credible '6O's roared to an ex- plosive close. Stirred by the possibility that they had an urgent stake in American life, youth responded by an involve- ment which led to outbursts of pro- tests against profuse targets. The great themes and trends of the decade were recorded and dis- persed more thoroughly and per- ceptively than ever before in his- tory via television. During the '60's and reaching a climax in the past year were the tremendous forces which rocked the country. Black rage exploded in the ghettos. Rock music, epitomized by the musical stage hit, Hair, re- flected social protest. Everyone had something to say about the drug scene, long hair and beards, campus disorders, poverty programs, racism, miniskirts, air pollution, Joe Namath, and the war in Vietnam. At Northwest the big hangups were Hbusing, the millage election, cluster plan, and Judge Bohanonf' Revolution might be the keyword whether applied to rioting in the cities and on campuses or as one writer asserted, the decline of American puritanism when skirts went up and moral barriers came down. The '60's will long be remembered for man's many achievements. He broke the earth barrier and walked on the moon. Dedicated medical men learned to prolong life by miracle drugs and organ transplants. The next ten years should be a time for sharing, caring, and re- building for a freer, happier future for all America. A Shield editorial writer noted that Northwest has already made a good start. Students are learning to judge a fellow student, not by color, but by his heart and soul.
